title: [Cytokines and their role in pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy].
abstract: The role of cytokines is estimated in development of diabetic retinopathy. Titer of cytokines is compared in healthy subjects and patients with impaired glucose metabolism. Fundus examination and specific cytokines level assessment allowed us to conclude that cytokines directly take part in pathogenesis of retinopathy before clinical manifestation. It provides rational to use cytokine level as a predictor of early manifestation of diabetic retinopathy, its timely treatment and prevention of progressing till end stages.
